I feel terrible to have her puppy wake us up starting around 4-5am until 7am. The puppy has a very strict potty and bedtime schedule from 12-7 and always adheres to it, as long as I'm not spending the night. He's 8 months old but understands he can't come out of his crate until 7, but he's one persistent and super cute little one. He just wants play and never really listens to us when I'm there.

He has a standard crate size. enough room to sleep with 180 turn space.

We've tried putting him in another room, but he barks louder.

We've tried putting a blanket over the crate to tell him he should sleep, but he barks louder.

The huge problem that arises from this is that i'm not at her apartment everyday so I don't think it can turn into a routine...

as an additional question, would it be a bad idea to buy him a puppy bed to leave next to the bedside? He seems to nap there during the day rather than in his crate.
 
Hello. I bet that if you bought the puppy a puppy bed it would solve the problem. I think that any living thing would hate to be in a little cage of sorts, it's gotta cause anxiety. I think the puppy would really appreciate it and then you can get some sleep too.
